I’ve only recently bought this product and have used it for about a a month and a half and I already LOVE it so much.
It works so well for my dry sensitive fungal acne prone skin. I use this in the evening for my double cleanse, it doesn’t dry or irritate my skin at all. I really recommend this product.
I only managed to find this on amazon but the price is good for the amount that you get.
An actually fantastic cleanser for the price point. Quite liquidy so you don't have to use a lot of product. In comparison to the Dr Sam's cleanser I was using before, this feels a lot easier to move across the face, causing less friction and irritation. It has never dried out my skin at all and doesn't have any problematic ingredients for me.

Holy grail product for me.
Overall great cleanser, used for ~5 months now.
Pros: Has never left me feeling stripped, irritated, or excessively dry/flakey. No fragrance. Makes my skin feel clean and refreshed.
Notes: I haven't noticed anything particularly hydrating about this cleanser (however, no cleanser is going to hydrate like a moisturizer/serum/etc so I can 100% let that slide). It cannot effectively remove Show more
